"Of course, it’s nice that the reason we’re junking old capital is to make room for something better, not just for the hell of it. But you know what would also be nice? Building useful stuff like infrastructure employing labor and cash that would otherwise sit idle."

It isn't that the window breaking is detrimental per se, simply that the money being spent on the window would just as easily have been spent on something else. If not a window, then maybe a new shelf, or a lawn gnome, or a cardboard box full of kittens. The money is going somewhere, no matter what.

This doesn't apply. The missing sign isn't just a cost, someone gains the benefit from the stolen sign. No one gains the benefit from the broken window.

This also ignores the idea that, it is possible (even likely) that the person would have saved that money rather than spent it. During a recession, it is economically valuable to encourage spending and to discourage saving.

Edit: Several Republicans have downvoted because they don't get the joke. Thus illustrating my point. Instead of downvoting, how about a link to evidence that republicans are known for their sense of humor?

every pair is either the same letter, or adjacent vowel, or adjacent consonant. Coincidence? I think not. 9/11/2001 vs 9/11/1857. Separated by 156 144 years. The number 156 144 has no imaginable vast significance. Coincidence? I think not.

I wish the voter's pamphlet had bullet points written by the opponents. Nobody reads the pamphlets anyway, so they might as well say stuff like "(Candidate) eats out of trash cans." Then at least it would be funny for those of us who bother to read them.

Besides, to retard means to impede normal progress, which implies that some progress is still being made, albeit at a slower pace. People that have mental retardation can still learn, as my awesome brother BigBrerChicken can attest to. These assholes? They're retrograde. They're moving BACKWARDS!

Yeah, I'm in a conservative area too. There are several Romney signs on my street, and we're the only ones with an Obama sign. When we took it in before the hurricane, we realized it had a gunshot hole in it. Pretty awesome.

I don't mind the Romney/Ryan signs, people are entitled to their opinions, and I happen to like the Obama '12 signs...

But I fucking hate the bright orange "Defeat Obama" signs...

So your political view revolves around defeating a candidate? And you are going to pretend your vote isn't for the lesser of two evils? And not because your guy is better or you would choose the Romney/Ryan sign?

No, you, person of little character, only want to make sure Obama is defeated.

You are ever so slightly better and informed than a sign that says, "I HATE NIGGERS".

I would like to point out, it is illegal for an organization other then a campaign to endorse a candidate. That is why most PAC funded ads are attack ads, it would be illegal for the to say "vote romney" but they can say "dont vote obama"

That the choice this year is Romney (Mormon) or Obama (conservatives think he's a muslim). Basically he's saying he's conservative, but dislikes Romney because of his religion. Gotta admire that kind of xenophobia.

I was recently in Irving, Texas. In the white subdivisions, every single yard has a Romney sign. Random people, upon learning that I am a Yankee, began telling me how Obama has ties to terrorists (and was responsible for terrorist acts against Americans), how China's loans had insanely high interest rates (never try explaining how treasury bonds work to a guy who doesn't seem to have a third grade education), and how buses bring a poor and unwanted element into the area (you know, the people who clean their houses and the elderly). I feel for you, son.

EDIT: I've gotten two links to the wiki. Thank you, and upvotes to both. But whenever that happens, it gives me the feeling that people link without checking to see if it's already been linked to. Thank you, but no more linking.

Hernando County FL here too. If you have ever seen an elderly lady driving by an Obama rally yelling "Boo Obama! Boo!" I probably know her... I don't think I know anyone who has ever stolen an Obama sign, but I know a lot of people who would probably consider it, and worse stuff than that.

Back in the Bush/Kerry election, some asshole kept stealing our Kerry lawn signs. Being the cleverly devious woman that she is, my mother coated one in the most foul smelling deer attractant that she could find in the hopes that the lawn sign-stealing asshat would take it and end up with an awfully stinky car. Bitch took the bait hook line and sinker. We never had another lawn sign stolen. MWAHAHA.

STATISTICALLY! Check the analyst institute for numbers, Yard signs do nothing. If you want to be helpful and a real supporter, go VOLUNTEER with your local campaign and help out the organizers to re-elect the president. We really appreciate it.

Edit: Also the campaign gets no money that would be going to the local democratic party as it they are sold to them @ whole sale prices ~5$ each so they do make a buck.

Progress is slow! The best we can do is try our damnedest to elect the people who will move it forward. Democrats are not perfect some are in the pockets of industry but guess what we support women's rights, lgbt right, civil right, anti-censorship movement, and eventually full capaign finance reform WE MUST ELECT DEMOCRATS before the republicans can do away with it entirely!

Yeah, yeah. Obama's got my vote. I'm just pointing out that he's got my vote purely because Republicans are so absurdly against all those things you mentioned, not because I have any faith in Obama to do anything in particular. We should have nominated Hillary. She's a smart, ballsy fighter, not some bipartisan pussy.

You're assuming that yard signs are effective in some way in the first place. It's not like anyone sees that sign and thinks, "oh yeah, I forgot that the president (or, alternately, Romney) existed. That sign makes a good point. Maybe I'll look in to his policies when I get home."

Signs are only effective for the local and state elections. Most people don't know the candidates for the county board well, so making their name more recognizable than the other person when you go to the ballot is vital, but who the hell doesn't know the presidential candidates? I never understood the point of those signs.

Plus, it makes it more embarrassing when your candidate loses and you don't take it down immediately. On in the case of bumper stickers, it makes it seem a bit weird when you are driving around in 2012 with a Kerry '04 sticker.

It looks like they made the sign and realized they left out a few words, so then they just squeezed the rest in there. Also, almost every word is a different size. The 'E' in 'every' is bigger than the entire word 'you'. Wtf.
